Ex-employees whose companies cannot afford outplacement? Richard Alberg, CEO of MyWorkSearch, says there's no excuse for 'not affording outplacement' when so much is offered for free…

Outplacement: a service often associated with senior executives in large corporates is being democratised through the power of the internet. The focus has shifted for 2010. Using new technology and moving online means outplacement is now an affordable service that organisations of all sizes can provide to their employees.

Richard Alberg takes his place in the Smarta hotseat.

The huge challenges facing the public sector over the next few years to cut spending will regrettably mean redundancies for many public sector workers. Faced with this painful course of action, organisations of all shapes and sizes from local authorities, NHS health trusts and Government agencies will want to make it as painless as possible for all concerned, and do what they can to smooth the path to a new job for their ex-employees.

Outplacement is changing. What was once predominantly a service designed for a relatively small number of senior executives is now a mass market offering. The problem is that although the name has remained the same the available budget has considerably changed. No longer are several thousand pounds per person available. It is now, at best, several hundred pounds and as budget is trimmed, so too is the service provided.

Making staff redundant is never an easy decision, even more so for Small to Medium sized Businesses, (SMEs) and entrepreneurial businesses that often don't have the resource of an HR function to support the process. Employers faced with this necessary course of action want to make it as painless as possible for all concerned and do what they can to smooth the path to a new job for their ex-employees.

MyWorkSearch offers businesses a cost-effective way to support all ex-employees through the difficult process of finding a new role. The service provides users with tools, information and advice which can be tailored to individual needs. As the service is delivered online, jobseekers can access what they want, when they need it and manage the large number of job applications necessary to secure employment in the current market.
